Creating a Gig For Dillpo

The service you offer and sell in the marketplace is called a "Gig." Your Gig is an opportunity to showcase your talent to potential buyers, and to provide them with all the information they may need before they choose to place an order with you.

Creating and editing a Gig

Important: You can only create your Gigs (and seller account) on a desktop.

To create a Gig:

Click My Profile > Create a New Gig.

After you have completed steps 1-5 (explained below) > Save & Continue.

To make any changes and edit your Gig:

Find the Gig you'd like to edit > From the drop-down list on the right > Edit.

Make changes > Save.

Step 1: Gig overview

Gig Title

Make sure that your title is short, clear, and to the point

Buyers should recognize the type of service that you offer immediately

Dillpo helps you start with ”I will...”

Step 2: Scope and pricing

Name your package

Describe the details of your offering in the area provided

Delivery Time

Use the drop-down to select the number of days it will take for you to complete your Gig

Select the various items you'd like to include in your service (Extras).

Note: This depends on the type of service you are offering.

Example: If you offer logo design services, you can select options from a predefined list of items, such as the number of logos to include, the source files, or a high-resolution file.

RevisionS

Dillpo’s system requires all sellers to provide an option for buyers to request a revision

Use the drop-down to select the number of revisions you include in your Gig

Note: Additional revisions are recommended for Gigs that include customization or creation.

Price

Select a price for your service (determined by the Standardized Gig Package for your category and subcategory)—ranging from a minimum of $1-100000$

In certain categories, you have the option to create 3 packages

Click 3 Packages or Try Now

If you create 3 packages, your customized extra services will be available to buyers when they reach the checkout page.

Exception: Voice Over Gigs have different pricing schemes

Extra Services

You have the option to deliver your Gig Extra Fast and charge accordingly.

To set Extra Fast Delivery:

My Gig Extras > Extra fast delivery.

Select how many days it will take you to deliver.

Set the price for how much more you will charge.

Note: If you select Extra Fast Delivery, the number of days required for the Extra Fast Delivery cancels out the amount of time indicated in your Extra Services. The delivery time must be lower than the regular Gig's delivery time frame.

You can offer Extra Services for your Gig, which will be available to the buyer during the order process (Optional).

To offer Extras:

My Gig Extras > Select from the list of items.
